lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the policy of the European Union also functions in the aviation sector on automatic pilot, strengthening the competitiveness of the monopoly aviation companies in order to increase their profits. In our opinion, there are two basic factors that relate directly to the strengthening of flight safety rules: the human factor and the state – the airworthiness – of aircraft. Although trade union representatives have from time to time officially expressed their acute concern about the intensification of the exhausting working times of workers and about the deterioration in training provided for cabin crews being promoted in the relevant regulation, unfortunately these elements are not taken into account. It is a well-known fact that the exhausting working times of cabin crews increase flight safety risks. Another basic parameter, which was the subject of a letter from qualified Olympic Airways aircraft engineers dated 8 October 2004 and the corresponding reply, which I have here, from Mr Barrot dated 18 January 2005, concerns pre-flight checks. At this point, I would draw your attention to a very serious matter. In the second paragraph of Mr Barrot's letter, in reply to the trade union representatives who are responsible for checking the airworthiness of aircraft, it says that, as far as pre-flight inspections are concerned, the analysis of the current legal situation at European Union level (law 2042/2003) confirms that pre-flight inspections do not qualify as technical inspections. For goodness sake. If pre-flight inspections of aircraft are not technical inspections, then what are they? We really consider that aircraft inspections by organised engineers in accordance with Part-66 (Aircraft Maintenance Personnel Licensing) need to be restored."@en1
